What approach?  Whaddaya talking about?  All I said was: "Here's what he's on about.  Plus, it seems wrong when you think about the social sciences."

[As for Adorno and Co., I actually had Horkheimer's "Traditional and Critical Theory" in mind when I added that one sentence in which I said that it seems wrong (for reasons that could certainly be described as dialectical).]  

Confused,
